Does the government support the use of public money for a report that simply repeats the language of a U.S. lobby group?

Will the Minister ask the Conference Board of Canada to refund the public money spent on this report?

Will the Minister publicly disassociate himself from the report in light of these findings?

Update May 28, 2009: The Conference Board of Canada has just posted the following statement:

The Conference Board of Canada has recalled three reports: Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Economy; National Innovation Performance and Intellectual Property Rights: A Comparative Analysis; and Intellectual Property Rights—Creating Value and Stimulating Investment. An internal review has determined that these reports did not follow the high quality research standards of The Conference Board of Canada.
